Default Re: Help with 4000 upgrade

The 1 TB makes more sence execpt with 3 x 400 = 1.2 TB - OH
250 have never been a problem. OK
300 have, ???? 4 x 300 - 1.2 TB the same as a disk 400.

It's has to be

(number) that the snap can't process. It could actually be something in the Kernel of the Ancient FreeBSD that they are using.

But there were a couple that have put 2 x 500 in 2200, according to ebay. But they may have not tested it in raid. But it's under 1 TB.

Depending on which MFG Drives you bought. There is a utility (Hitachi) for setting drive size. Which would allow you to use your 400 gig drives at a lower capacity.

Or better yet, try to adjust the cluster size larger. So if it's using a 4k now, up to 8k (16,32), would cut the parity numbers to 1/2 ........ If I recall there is a cluster size in debug .........

What would happen if you tried a "RAID 0", is this an option for the 4000?
